cfform 133
In addition to the listed attributes, you can use the following HTML attributes in the cfform tag.
The tag does not use these attributes, but includes them in the form tag that it generates and
returns to the browser:
• class
• enctype
• id
• onReset
• style
• target
preserveData Optional No When the cfform action attribute posts back to the same
page as the form, this determines whether to override the
control values with the submitted values.
• false: values specified in the control tag attributes are
used
• true: corresponding submitted values are used
